Abstract
An experimental program to study the formation of carbonyl compounds, which contribute to the odor and irritancy of automotive and diesel exhaust is presented. These studies are focused on the so called lean flame-out region'' which occurs in the diesel combustion process and on conditions typical of vehicle exhaust systems. The chemistry of combustion within such regions is characterized by lean, low temperature hydrocarbon oxidation. The oxidation of dodecane, a model diesel fuel component, was studied in the low to intermediate temperature range for lean oxidizer/fuel mixtures. The results of this study help explain the mechanism of aldehyde formation in vehicular systems since conditions known to occur in the operation of both diesel and spark ignition engines are closely matched by the experimental conditions examined in this work.
